Guest Victor von Zeppelin Posted April 30, 2012 Report Share Posted April 30, 2012 There’s no shortage of cloud storage options around these days – Dropbox, Skydrive, iCloud, Box, the newly released Google Drive and many many more. So what do we need? Of course, more choices! Step in LG Cloud, a cloud storage solution for Android, Desktops and Smart TVs by a company probably least popular for its handling of software. The service aims to be a one-stop shop for uploading files, media and photographs. However, its handling of video seems to be the biggest draw. With support for 3D and transcoding videos on demand (so, a film uploaded in 1080p could be streamed at a lower quality for your phone over 3G, for example) it seems that it offers value there at least. The service launched on Tuesday in Beta, if you're in the market such things it would also be worth looking at Sony’s new service which launched last Wednesday: PlayMemories – which I admit I hadn’t actually heard of until I started researching for this story. It offers many of the same features, plus integration with the PlayStations. There are still some details like the pricing of more storage to be clarified, as well as the base allowance to start with. I’m just a bit skeptical in LG’s ability to handle anything software-wise. Their recent track record hasn’t really been satisfactory. Source: LG Cloud This item was promoted to the News page - click here to view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
